troubleshooting

Hi Guys! Back once again to fix my partner's intermittent BSOD issues! It seems once again to occur intermittently after about 3 minutes on boot. Booting after the blue screen seems to mess with the pc's LEDs, so I wonder if this is somehow related? We were hoping someone with more...

So I just got a hand me down PC that's quite old about 5-6 years old and I've noticed sometimes it just won't start up like no fans spinning or no RGB light up but I did see lights on the motherboard LEDs I tried reseating the ram sticks GPU and PSU but it didn't work however after leaving it as...

I bought my laptop open box and since I have had issues with the keyboard. At first all keys were okay, then a month in the keys "G", "H" started to not register. It would take multiple presses at various pressures to register the input. Today it seems to have spread to other keys? Keys "I", the...

Hi! I got a ASUS TUF 3080, while gaming I noticed it was very very loud and very hot. We're taking fans spinning at 100% and GPU being at 85celsius. I decided to go ahead and undervolt it, to help with the heat and noise (silent GPU is super important to me) I also edited the fan curve and...

I just purchased a new motherboard, ram and CPU. I purchased 2x16gb/3600 Vengeance LPX ram and it would only hit 3200 speed. Selecting xmp would just blackscreen my computer on reload until I disabled it. So I sent that back and bought Kingston Fury Renegade ddr4 ram 2x16gb/3600 instead...

I bought a 1TB WD Blue PCI-E NVMe SSD (WDS100T3B0C) for my MSI B450-A Pro motherboard. I checked the MSI website and this SSD is compatible with my mobo so that is not the issue. I also used some canned air to clean out the slot prior to installing it to ensure I properly inserted the NVMe...

Hello, I have a weird problem and Ive failed to find someone who has/had a similar one. When I play games (e.g. FIFA23) I certainly receive a BSOD after 5-10.

Hi Guys! Recently my partner's system has been experiencing some Intermittent BSOD's about a minute after it boots to windows, I've attempted to single out the possibility that the blue screens were linked to a new hardware/software change however she assured me nothing had changed that she was...

I've had this system for two years with a 3070 Ti with gpu utilization of upwards of 30% utilization. People have told me I need a really good power supply, so I bought a EVGA 750 Watt GOLD standard PSU for 150$, didnt work, people said my gpu may be faulty. gave it to a friend on his rig...

Hello, I have a PC that was running fine but abruptly went off (powered off). I tried turning it on but nothing happened. After unplugging and replugging it, nothing happened except the motherboard RGB LED. After that, I did the following testing: I tested the GPU on another system and it...

My PC will randomly stop outputting video, audio, and peripheral signals but the system continues to run. All fans continue to spin and all motherboard LEDs continue to light up. I am forced to hold the power button to restart it as I am left without any way to interact with the system. When I...

So here is a rundown of what is happening. I installed a brand new GPU EVGA 3070 TI FTW to my build. The old gpu was AMD Radeon 6600 and having different issues than my current. Every couple of days Ill turn on the pc and games will be at 15-20 fps and just locked. I will have no GPU stats on...

Just got a brand new SSD earlier (a 960GB Kingston A400) and I'm just installing a few games onto it. But then after installing two games, the write speeds dropped to at an average of about 8-12 mb/s, and both the active time and average response time hovered in the really high values (90-100%...

Hi, I recently bought a gaming PC and I'll include the specs below. After playing video games for about 2 hours with no issues, my gaming pc starts doing this weird freeze thing and I would have to shut down the entire PC and restart. I don't think it's a temp problem, but please point me...

Hello, since yesterday midday I have been troubleshooting my new pc build trying to understand the problem and get it to boot. I’ve tried everything between heaven and earth. When I turn on the PC every fan and all the rgb turns on, the qled display on the asus mobo first shines red on cpu...

I've been having issues since last Friday. My computer was acting up after a storm, so I'm not sure if there was a power surge, but my attempts to troubleshoot didn't help or may have made things worse. I posted here (Question - Computer will not start up, already tried many troubleshooting...

hi, so recently while playing valorant ive noticed that about every 30 seconds or so my fps drops drastically from around 50 (which isnt that great on its own) down to 10. this makes the game unplayable and lasts for about 15-20 seconds. I checked gpu-z and turns out my gpu clock speed was going...

Hello everyone, my computer recently failed to boot, instead choosing to scroll text reading: "SetVariable██ : UnsupportedInitCbuiVariable : Unsupported". It scrolled and quickly filled the screen, with variations to the full blocks. Image...

Today I upgraded the PC I had with a new PSU and GPU, moving everything to a new case (I've had this computer for about two years, about a month ago I upgraded to a Ryzen 5600, updated the BIOS and everything was fine). Upon finishing the build, the GPU gives no video (though the RGB does light...

tl;dr: flashed BIOS on Asus X470-F so I could use new Ryzen 5900X, but it won't post and my motherboard is showing the BOOT Q-LED error ? So I can't tell if I screwed the pooch or if this is an actual error that's not my fault. I finally decided to upgrade my PC with a new CPU and case (GPU...

Following a clean reinstall of windows on my machine, windows installed my system reserved partition on Disk 0 which is one of my HDD drives while the OS was installed on disk 3 (C) on my SSD. This rendered my drive and made it unusable. In order to format and make the drive usable, I moved the...

I have had this issue where when I play games with friends, my buddies rtx 2060 performs better than my rtx 2060 super, this does not make sense to me, even youtube videos people have uploaded with the same card perform significantly better than mine. I'm not sure why this is happening. I do...

First time AIO user here so i'm a bit confused on the proper setup for an AIO when it comes to fan monitoring. In the bios the monitoring for the AIO does show up and I can see the rpm if that matters. I've tried looking into this a little bit but i'm getting conflicting threads of information...

I snapped up a 5900x earlier today and I noticed that it was getting quite quite hot just idling and doing nothing basically. I've looked on the forums and seen lots of people saying quite similar things and people concluding that it is just meant to be like that. I figured the best course...
